6 Access 2016 Foundation Page 6 Tutor Setup Information Copy the sample files folder, called Access 2016 Foundation to the My Documents folder on the PC. At the end of the course, remove all files modified or created during the course, prior to re-running the course. At the end of the course, reset all program and operating system defaults that may have been modified during the course, prior to re-running the course.

7 Access 2016 Foundation Page 7 Sample files for this Course During this course you will need to open samples files. These are stored under the My Documents folder in a sub-folder called: Access 2016 Foundation. If you create any new files, unless otherwise instructed, you should also save the files in this folder.

8 Access 2016 Foundation Page 8 Access 2016 Database Concepts What is a database? A database is defined as an organised collection of data (information). In raw form, a sheet of paper divided into columns and rows or a table in Microsoft Word or Excel would previously have been considered a simple database. Single table databases are very limited in their uses and would not be considered as a business solution. These days, a database is defined as a collection of objects, such as tables, forms, queries and reports. A database will be able to store data in a structured manner across multiple tables, use queries to locate specific information according to given criteria, produce detailed (on-screen or printed) reports, perform calculations and much more. Database Examples Databases are used to group and format data and then extract information from that data. Examples of databases usages include: - A phone directory - Criminal databases used by the police to keep track of known criminals - Patient records are kept on a database within the health system - Tax details are kept on a government database What is a relational database? Unlike a single table database, a relational database is able to store and manipulate data across multiple tables. By utilising multiple tables, a relational database reduces unnecessary duplication of data. For example, when using a large database to store customer information, including addresses, it is likely many individuals will live in the same street and share other common parts of the address. Rather than storing the same street name, county, state, etc., over and over, this information can be stored in a separate table. As each new customer is added to the database, only the unique house number needs to be recorded. What is a table? Tables are used to store the data in a structured and organised format. As previously mentioned, tables are similar to those of Word and Excel, in that they contain rows (records) and columns (fields).

9 Access 2016 Foundation Page 9 What is a record (row)? A record applies to data entered into a single row of a table. All data in that row would belong to an individual or item. A record would normally include a unique ID number, Name, Description, plus other relevant information. With each new record, a new row is created. What is a field (column)? Each column (previously known as a field ) is used to define what specific information is to be entered into that particular column. A column titled Street for example would signify this to be the point in a record to enter in the Street name when creating each new record. What is data? Data is the information entered into tables within the database. Databases are used daily by large corporations, small businesses and individuals, often without people realising they are using a database. Even something as simple as entering contact details into the Contact or Address Book section of an program such as Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express, involves entering data into a database. Data entered will generally be alphabetical (names / addresses) or numerical (Dates / Currency), however Access is also able to store other forms of data, such as links to websites, documents created in other packages (OLE) as well as file attachments (files & images). Data can be entered into the database manually, via the keyboard, imported from or linked to external sources or even collected through .

10 Access 2016 Foundation Page 10 The difference between data and information Data: - Facts, statistics used for reference or analysis. - Numbers, characters, symbols, images etc., which can be processed by a computer - Data must be interpreted, by a human or machine, to derive meaning Information: - Information is interpreted data - Data that has been processed to produce meaning. Data types Data types define what type of data will be entered into each field (column) in a table. If however the data type is set to a currency or date Data Type, numeric data entered will automatically format to the appropriate currency or data/time format. There are a number of specific reasons for selecting the correct data types when creating Tables within a database. Setting a Date Data Type for example will format and store all entries in the manner configured. This in turn means that queries created to locate information according to a Date criteria will have consistent data to work with. In the same way, Numeric data must be of a numeric type, otherwise query searches, reports and calculations will fail to provide the desired information. NOTE: Field Properties must also be configured to format the appropriate currency symbol, date format and to limit the data entry to specific characters, symbols and spacing. Common uses of large-scale databases These include: Airline booking systems: These systems maintain a database of all the seats on all the available flights, allowing passengers to be quickly booked onto fights to their destination. Government records: Governments all over to world rely on multiple large databases in order to function. Tax records, criminal records and social security all require sophisticated database systems. Bank account records: Banks require extremely reliable databases in order to keep track of all their customer account & log transactions. Hospital patient details:

11 Access 2016 Foundation Page 11 Medical records are being moved onto a database system. This system should allow your medical history to be instantly available wherever you require treatment. Keeping data discrete A database can have many tables. A table should only contain records related to a particular subject. For example you may have a table called customers containing information about your customers with a separate table called orders. You can then link the tables by creating a relationship, connecting each customer with their associated orders. Each field should contain only one item Each field should contain the smallest data element. For instance if you are storing a person s name, use one field for the first name and another field for the second name. This means that at a later date you could manipulate the data to sort by the second name. For the same reason split the details of an address into as many smaller parts as possible so that later you could search by state/region, by post code/zip code or even by country if you are maintaining an international list. Database designers, database administrators and database users Different groups of people design, maintain and use large scale databases. Database designers: These are highly skilled database professionals with an in-depth knowledge of exactly how the database works, including its overall function and details of the programming. Database administrators: This group administer the day to day operation of the database and make sure that the data is kept secure. They provide technical backup to users of the database. They provide access to specific data for appropriate users. In the event of a computer crash the database administrator will be responsible for restoring normal computer operations. Database Users: The users are responsible for routine, day to day data entry, data maintenance and information retrieval.

12 Access 2016 Foundation Page 12 Opening a Database & Security Issues Opening a database within your samples folder The sample files for this course are stored in a folder called Access 2016 Foundation, which in turn is stored under the Documents folder. You will now open a database file called First Look. Start the Microsoft Access 2016 program. The opening screen will look like this. Click on the Open Other Files link. This will display the Open screen. Click on This PC and then click on the Browse button.

13 Access 2016 Foundation Page 13 This will display the Open dialog box. You should see a folder called Access 2016 Foundation folder (located under the My Documents folder). Double click on the Access 2016 Foundation folder to view the contents of that folder.

14 Access 2016 Foundation Page 14 Double click on the file called First Look to open the database file within the Access program. You will see the database displayed. You may see a warning displayed under the ribbon.

15 Access 2016 Foundation Page 15 If you see this message, do not worry, we will talk more about this later, for now, when you see this message displayed, click on the Enable Content button. You will then see the window displayed, without the warning. Similar to other Microsoft Office applications, Access 2016 warns users of potential security threats when they arise and relate to macros within the application. Macros contain code written to perform a task within the application and are used widely in Excel and Word as well as Access. Because macros use code designed to allow advanced users the opportunity to create their own functions to enhance the functionality of a database, others can also write malicious code intended to have the opposite effect. An alternative to enabling macros every time a database is opened is to select and add a trusted folder within the Trust Centre. We shall do this in the next section. Close the database and close Access. NOTE: The keyboard shortcut to close the Access program is Alt+F4.

16 Access 2016 Foundation Page 16 Trusted Locations Using the Trust Centre Re-open Access and open a database file called Sample (located within the Access 2016 Foundation folder). As you can see the warning message is displayed. We will now make the Access 2016 Foundation folder a trusted location. Click on the File tab and then the Info side tab, within the side pane displayed, click on the Trust Center Settings link.

17 Access 2016 Foundation Page 17 The Trust Center window will be displayed. Select the Trusted Locations button from the left pane of the window. Click on the Add new location button. You will see a dialog box displayed.

18 Access 2016 Foundation Page 18 Click on the Browse button and you will see a dialog box displayed. Navigate to the Access 2016 Foundation folder (located under the My Documents folder). Click on the OK button and you will see the following.

19 Access 2016 Foundation Page 19 Click on the OK button and the Access 2016 Foundation folder will now be permanently trusted. Click on the OK button on any remaining dialog boxes to close them. Close the Access program and then reopen it. Reopen the Sample database. You should no longer see the warning displayed. NOTE: If other database files are stored in different folders, these will need to be added to Trusted Locations. Alternatively it may be worth considering centralising database files. Close the Access program. Setting the default Access folder We can set a default folder for opening files within Access. This means that when you display the Open dialog box, it always displays files in the folder that you set as default. Re-open the Access program.

20 Access 2016 Foundation Page 20 Click on the Open Other files button. Click on the Options button (displayed towards the bottom of the list). This will display the Access Options dialog box.

21 Access 2016 Foundation Page 21 Within the Creating databases section of the dialog box, click on the Browse button to the right of the Default database folder. This will display a dialog box. Navigate to the Access 2016 Foundation folder (located under the My Documents folder).

22 Access 2016 Foundation Page 22 Click on the OK button to close the dialog box and also close any open dialog boxes. Close Access.

23 Access 2016 Foundation Page 23 Access 2016 Tables, Fields and Field Types Creating a new blank database Start Access and your screen will look like this. Click on the Blank Desktop Database thumbnail. You will see the following. You need to give the new database a name and also set a folder location to store it in. In this case we previously set the default folder to point to our Access 2016 Foundation folder, and if you look carefully at the screen you will notice that this default folder has been used.

24 Access 2016 Foundation Page 24 NOTE: If you had wanted to create a new database in a different folder, then you would have clicked on the small folder icon to the right of the File Name section and navigated to the desired folder. In this case however we will be using the default folder location. Replace the default database file name with the name Cheltenham Courses. Click on the Create button. The Access window opens and displays a new table. Until one or more tables have been created, along with fields and properties, Access can do little at this stage.

25 Access 2016 Foundation Page 25 Adding fields and setting the field type Click on the down arrow in the Click to Add section (to the right of the ID field). From the drop down list displayed, select Short Text. Type in the words Course Name and the screen will look like this.

26 Access 2016 Foundation Page 26 Press the Enter key. The pointer moves to the right, to the next cell ready to accept another field name input. Use the same technique to enter the words Course Description in the next cell along, as illustrated. Press the Enter key.

27 Access 2016 Foundation Page 27 Click on the down arrow (next to the Click to Add section). This time from the drop down list displayed, select Currency. Type in the word Price and press the Enter key. Click on the down arrow (next to the Click to Add section). This time from the drop down list displayed, select Number.

28 Access 2016 Foundation Page 28 Type in the words Places Left and press the Enter key. Click on the down arrow (next to the Click to Add section). This time from the drop down list displayed, select Date & Time. Type in the words Course Date and press the Enter key. Click on the down arrow (next to the Click to Add section). This time from the drop down list displayed, select Number.

29 Access 2016 Foundation Page 29 Type in the word Duration (days) and press the Enter key. Click on the down arrow (next to the Click to Add section). This time from the drop down list displayed, select Attachment. Your field information will now look like this.

30 Access 2016 Foundation Page 30 So far you have opened Access, and created and saved a blank database. You then inserted fields into a table within your database, and you have given each field a field type. About Access Data Types There are several data types to choose from and one or two, i.e. Text has the ability to accept and store most data input, however data output, searching, producing reports, calculating value, etc., will present a problem. The following Data Type table provides a description of the types of data each Data Type can store, format and perform searches and calculations on. Closing and naming a table To close the table click on the Close Table button, displayed towards the topright of the screen. Take care to click on the correct close button. The top Close button will close the entire Access program, while the lower Close button will simply close the table that is open within the Access program.

31 Access 2016 Foundation Page 31 Once you click on the lower Close button you will see a dialog box displayed. Notice that the Access program has called the table Table1. Click on the Yes button. You will see the following dialog box displayed allowing you to save the table with a more friendly name. Type in a name for the table, such as Next Weeks Courses. Click on the OK button. Your screen will now look like this. You can see the table that you created displayed within the left section of the window.

32 Access 2016 Foundation Page 32 Click on the Close button at the top-right of the Access screen.

33 Access 2016 Foundation Page 33 Access 2016 Table Navigation & Modification Opening a table within a database Restart the Access program. Within the Recent section of the screen, you will see a list of recently opened Access files. In this case click on the Cheltenham Courses file. You will see the following screen displayed.

34 Access 2016 Foundation Page 34 As you will see this is a copy of the table that you created in the last section. To open the table, called Next Weeks Courses, double click on the table. Your screen will now look like this. Switching between Datasheet View and Design View If you look at the bottom-right of the Access screen you will see the View buttons.

35 Access 2016 Foundation Page 35 Click on the Design View button.. Your screen will now look like this. Click on the Datasheet View button and the Access screen will look as it did originally. Click on the Design View button again.. In the Design view you have an upper and lower section. The upper section looks like this.

36 Access 2016 Foundation Page 36 You can use the upper section to change field names and to modify the field data type. The lower section, displaying the Field Properties looks like this. The lower section allows you to specify more information about each field, such as the field size or format. We will use some of these features later in the course.

37 Access 2016 Foundation Page 37 Adding records to a table Display the table in Datasheet view, so that it looks like this. Click in the cell directly under the Course Name header, and you will see the following. Enter a course name, in this case Word Press the Enter key and the next field will be selected, as illustrated. Within the Course Description field, enter Basics. Press the Enter key and your screen will look like this.

38 Access 2016 Foundation Page 38 Within the Price field enter 200 and press the Enter key. Within the Places Left field enter 5 and press the Enter key. Within the Course Date field enter 9/9/2015 and press the Enter key. Within the Duration (days) field enter 1 and press the Enter key. Double click on the Attachment field. You will see a dialog box displayed. Click on the Add button. You should see files contained within your Access 2016 Foundation folder displayed. Scroll down and select the logo Word file.

39 Access 2016 Foundation Page 39 Click on the Open button and you will see the following dialog box. Click on the OK button. If you look carefully, you will notice that the number 1, is displayed in brackets, within the attachment field.

40 Access 2016 Foundation Page 40 Within the next row down, click within the Course Name field. In the Course Name field, enter a course called Excel 2016 and press Enter. In the Course Description field, enter Advanced and press Enter. In the Price field, enter 400 and press Enter. In the Places Left field, enter 2 and press Enter. In the Course Date field, enter 10/10/2015 and press Enter. In the Duration (days) field, enter 2 and press Enter. In the attachment field, attach the Excel logo file. Your screen will now look like this.

41 Access 2016 Foundation Page 41 Add the following data to the table (in each case use the relevant logo file). Saving the changes made to a table To save your changes click on the Save button displayed at the top-left of the Access window. Close the Access program using the keyboard shortcut Alt+F4. Navigating through records within a table Start the Access program and open the database called Manipulating Table. To do this, click on the Open Other Files link.

42 Access 2016 Foundation Page 42 Click on the This PC link. Click on the Access 2016 Foundation item within the Recent Folders section. If necessary, scroll down the list and double click on the database called Manipulating Tables.

43 Access 2016 Foundation Page 43 This will display the database. Double click on the table called Next Weeks Courses. Your screen will now look like this. The record navigation bar is located at the bottom-left of your screen, once you have opened a table.

44 Access 2016 Foundation Page 44 As tables grow, navigating through your records becomes more difficult, therefore Access has the record navigation bar to help locate records more easily. As you can see currently record 1 of 7 is selected. To select the next record, click on the single, right-pointing arrow. This will display record 2 of 7, as illustrated. To select the last record, click on the control as illustrated below. To select the previous record, click on the control as illustrated below. To select the first record, click on the control as illustrated below. To jump to a record, such as record number 5, enter the record number as illustrated and press the Enter key.

45 Access 2016 Foundation Page 45 Adjusting the column width Columns can be adjusted by placing the pointer over the thin dividing line between two field names as illustrated. In this case, you cannot see all of the Course names displayed properly. The pointer changes to an arrow shape, as illustrated. Once the pointer has changed to the arrow shape, click and drag the field left to decrease or right to increase the size. Before continuing, make the first column narrower, so that the contents cannot be displayed properly. Automatically resizing a column width to fit contents The first column should look something like this.

46 Access 2016 Foundation Page 46 To automatically resize a field width, position the pointer over the thin dividing line separating the first and second column heading, until the double arrow is displayed, and then double click to see the fields automatically resize to fit the (longest) line of text within the field. Moving a column to rearrange the column order Make a note of the order of the columns, BEFORE you start experimenting with rearranging the order of the columns. Move the mouse pointer to a column header, such as Course Name.

47 Access 2016 Foundation Page 47 When the pointer changes to a down arrow, click once to highlight the column. Click and hold down the mouse button. Use the thick dark line (left of the highlighted column) as a guide to the new position. Drag the column until the guide line is between two columns. Release the mouse button.

48 Access 2016 Foundation Page 48 TIP: To move multiple columns in one go, click in the first column and without releasing the mouse button, drag across to the last column of the group you wish to select. Let go of the mouse button to highlight the selected columns. To move the selected columns, follow the same steps used to move a single column. Experiment with re-ordering more columns. When you have finished experimenting, reorder the columns back to their original order. Save your changes and close the Access program.

49 Access 2016 Foundation Page 49 Access 2016 Field Properties Field Properties Field Properties amongst other things, control how information is displayed, specifies default values and prevents incorrect data entry. Options available will depend upon the data type of each field. Open Access and open the Field Properties database. Your Access screen will look like this.

50 Access 2016 Foundation Page 50 Open the table called Next Weeks Courses. Your screen will look like this. Click on the Design View button (bottom-right of the screen) to switch to Design View. The Field Properties section occupies the lower half of the screen. Click on the ID field (in the top section of the window) and you will see the following field properties displayed.

51 Access 2016 Foundation Page 51 Click on the Course Name field (in the top section of the window) and you will see the following field properties displayed.

52 Access 2016 Foundation Page 52 Click on the Price field (in the top section of the window) and you will see the following field properties displayed. Click on the Places Left field (in the top section of the window) and you will see the following field properties displayed.

53 Access 2016 Foundation Page 53 Click on the Course Date field (in the top section of the window) and you will see the following field properties displayed. Click on the Field1 field (in the top section of the window) and you will see the following field properties displayed.

54 Access 2016 Foundation Page 54 Click within the Price field name. Within the Field Properties section click on the drop down arrow to the right of the Format section. A drop down list is displayed. The list displays the options available for the Currency data type according to the regional settings of your computer. Select a different currency type. In the example below, the Euro currency has been selected.

55 Access 2016 Foundation Page 55 Once selected the format will be marked as Euro, as illustrated. Click on to the right of the Decimal Places line and as you can see you can set the number of decimal places that will be used. You would normally use the default Auto setting, but in this case select 2 decimal places, as illustrated. You will now see the Decimal Places set to 2.

56 Access 2016 Foundation Page 56 Click on the Places Left field, within the top section of the window. Within the lower, Field Properties section click on the down arrow displayed to the right of the Decimal Places.

57 Access 2016 Foundation Page 57 From the drop down list displayed, select 0. Switch back to the Datasheet View by clicking on the Datasheet icon at the bottom-right of the screen. You will see the following dialog box displayed. Click on the Yes button to save your changes and you will see the following.

58 Access 2016 Foundation Page 58 Click on the Design View icon (bottom-right) to switch back to Design View. In the Field Name column (displayed in the top section of the dialog box), select Course Date. Move down to the Field Properties section. Click in the Format box and then click on the down arrow to view the list of options.

59 Access 2016 Foundation Page 59 You will see the following. Select Short Date. NOTE: Access stores the full date and time information, even when for example; the format is set to display only the Short Date. Input Masks Input Masks are used to restrict how data is entered. By forcing users of the database to only enter data in a fixed format this greatly reduces the chances of data input errors. NOTE: Input Masks only work with Text and Date data types. Within the upper section, click on the Course Date, Data Type cell, as illustrated below.

60 Access 2016 Foundation Page 60 Look at the bottom of the screen and you will see a table that includes Input Mask, as illustrated. Click within the Input Mask line. Click on the small button containing three dots displayed at the right end of this line.

61 Access 2016 Foundation Page 61 If prompted to save the table, click on the Yes button. The Input Mask Wizard dialog box is displayed. Select the Short Date option, and then click on the Next button. Although it is highly unlikely in the case of a date, that you would wish to change the placeholder character, you have the ability to substitute the character, inserting others in their place. Do not make any changes in this case; simply look at what options are available.

62 Access 2016 Foundation Page 62 Click on the Next button and then the Finish button. The Input Mask now displays the following. Click on the Datasheet View button (bottom-right) to switch to Datasheet View. When prompted, click on the Yes button to save the changes.

63 Access 2016 Foundation Page 63 Using the mouse pointer, select the next blank cell at the bottom of the Date Received column. Notice the new Input Mask appears. From this point on, each new record added to the database will require the operator to follow the format. No other format will be accepted. Using Input Masks with Text data type for example, is useful when storing phone numbers. As calculation is not needed, phone numbers are entered into fields configured with the Text data type. Following the same approach as the Date / Time input mask will ensure data entry operators will enter in phone numbers according to the mask you have set. NOTE: If at any stage incomplete data has been entered into the field using an input mask, you will not be able to move out of the field or select another function until the data is either removed or completed. Access will display the following message. Click on the Design View button (bottom-right) to switch to Design View. Validating Numbers Validation rules help to control and therefore limit the type and amount of data users can enter. By providing conditions (criteria), in the form of expressions in the Validation property of a field, data entered must match the given conditions to be accepted. If the data fails to meet the conditions specified, Validation Text, also specified within Field Properties below the validation rule, will be displayed prompting the

64 Access 2016 Foundation Page 64 user of the conditions required to meet data entry requirements. Select the Price field. Click within the Validation Rule line and type in: >=200 Press the Enter key. Within the Validation Text section type in the following line of text A price greater equal to, or greater than, 200 must be entered

65 Access 2016 Foundation Page 65 Press the Enter key. Click on the Datasheet View button (bottom-right of the screen). You will see the following dialog box displayed. Click on the Yes button. Within row 8, under the Price column, enter the number 200, and press the Enter key. It will be displayed as illustrated. The validation rule allows the number 200 to be entered so Access accepts this number with no problems. Try overtyping the value you have just typed with the number 300. Again Access will accept this as you also specified that prices over 200 could be entered.

66 Access 2016 Foundation Page 66 Now try overtyping the value with 150 and press the Enter key. This time you will see an error message displayed, as the validation rule specifies that the price must be 200 or above. Click on the OK button and enter a valid number such as 400 and press the Enter key. Validating Dates Click on the Design View button (bottom-right). Select the Course Date field name. Make sure that the format is set to Short Date. Within the Validation Rule line type in the following and then press the Enter key.

67 Access 2016 Foundation Page 67 >01/01/2014 The screen will now look like this. In the Validation Text, type in Records cannot be backdated to last year, then press the Enter key. Click on the Datasheet View button (bottom-right of the screen) to switch to Datasheet View. When prompted, click on the Yes button to save the changes.

68 Access 2016 Foundation Page 68 Access notifies you that the Data integrity rules have changed. Click on the Yes button. When setting up Validation Rules, data in existing records may not meet the new rules and if that is the case the following will be displayed. As we are only interested in making certain all new record entries conform to the rule, click on the Yes button to keep the new settings and continue testing. NOTE: Access continues checking any other validation rules you added and will inform you if they contain data that fails to meet the rules. Within the Course Date column, try entering a date such as 03/03/2000, which clearly is before the validated date specified. You will see the following dialog box displayed.

69 Access 2016 Foundation Page 69 Click on the OK button and overtype the invalid date with a valid date, i.e. after 01/01/2014, which will fulfil the validation criteria. Data Entry Required / Not Required A validation rule ensures that data entered into a field meets the rules; however, it does not require data t o be entered into a field. You can use the Required option to force a user to enter data into a particular field. Click on the Design View button (bottom-right) and if required save any changes that you have made. Click within the Course Name field, in the upper part of the window. If you look within the Field Properties section, in the lower part of the window, you will see that the Required option is set to No. Double click on the word No and this will toggle to the word Yes.

70 Access 2016 Foundation Page 70 Click within the Course Description field. Within the lower part of the window, set the Required option for this field to Yes. Set the Required option for the Price field to Yes. Set the Required option for the Places Left field to No. Set the Required option for the Course Date field to Yes. Set the Required option for the Duration field to Yes. Leave the Required option for the Field1 field set to No. Click on the Datasheet button (bottom-right) to switch to the Datasheet View. When you see the following dialog box, click on the Yes button.

71 Access 2016 Foundation Page 71 You may see the following dialog box, click on the Yes button. Click on the next available row in the Course Name column. Enter a name for the course, such as PC Theory and press the Enter key. Your screen will now look like this. Press the Enter key to jump to the Price field. Enter a price of 200. Within the Course date field enter a value of 03/03/2014. Within the Duration field, enter a value of 1.

72 Access 2016 Foundation Page 72 Click within the Field1 field. Your screen will now look like this. Press the Enter key and you will see the following dialog box displayed. Remember that you set the Required setting to Yes for the Course Description, which is why this warning dialog box is displayed. Click on the OK button and enter the word Basics into the Course Description field. Press the Enter key and you will no longer see any error messages. Save your changes and close the Access program. Field Properties Reference Materials These tables provide a reference guide to some of the most commonly used field properties, along with examples and descriptions. NOTE: These operators, wildcards, etc., along with the examples will prove useful when learning about and using queries (covered in a later section),

76 Access 2016 Foundation Page 76 Manipulating Tables & Records in Access 2016 Renaming a table Start the Access program. Open a database called Tables and Records. Select (but do not open) the table called Next Weeks Courses. Right click on the table and from the popup list displayed select the Rename command.

77 Access 2016 Foundation Page 77 The table name is now displayed in editing mode. Type in Future Courses and press the Enter key. Double click on the table to open it. The table object tab now displays the new name, Future Courses.

78 Access 2016 Foundation Page 78 Editing data within a record With the table open, under the Course Description field, click within the record relating to the PowerPoint course. Press the F2 function key (located at the top of the keyboard). The cell is now in Editing mode and existing values can be overwritten, edited or removed (depending upon field properties). Type in the word Advanced and press the Enter key. Use the same technique to change the duration for this course from one to two days. Change the price for this course from 200 to 400. Your data will now look like this.

79 Access 2016 Foundation Page 79 Deleting data within a record Deleting data in a record is similar to editing data in a record; however there are a number of considerations to take into account. Data cannot be deleted from fields where the Required field property is set to Yes, as this prevents the field from being left blank. Deleting data from an Attachment (Data Type) field is actually not a deletion but the removal of an attachment. To remove data from a record, select the Places Left field for the Excel 2010 Advanced record. Then press the F2 key to activate editing mode, then use either the Delete or the Backspace key to delete the entry. Press the Enter key to commit the changes.

80 Access 2016 Foundation Page 80 The pointer moves to the next column, leaving the Places Left field empty. Using the Undo command Like other Microsoft Office applications, the Undo command (CTRL-Z), allows the user to undo previous actions. Unlike other Office Applications however, when working with tables for example, the Undo function will only undo the last action. The Undo button is located on the Quick Access Toolbar. Select an item within the Places Left column, press the F2 key and then press the Del key. The item will be removed. Repeat this procedure for each item under the Places Left column. Your data will now look like this. Click on the Undo button and the last item you deleted will be displayed again. Click on the Undo button again, and you will see that no more undo s can be performed. Deleting a single record You may need to remove a record from a table. In this example you will remove the record relating to the Outlook 2010 course. Move the pointer to the column, left of the ID field for the Outlook record. When the pointer changes to a right pointing arrow, click to highlight the whole row

81 Access 2016 Foundation Page 81 (record). The selected row will look like this. With the pointer anywhere within the selected area, click using the right mouse button to activate the shortcut menu. Click on the Delete Record option. A warning is displayed.

82 Access 2016 Foundation Page 82 NOTE: Undo is not available when deleting records, therefore any deletions will be committed. Click on the Yes button to confirm the deletion. The Outlook course record has been deleted from the table. NOTE: When deleting records from a table, the unique number in an ID (AutoNumber) field is also deleted and will not be reused. TIP: Instead of using the shortcut menu and the Delete Record option, you could simply highlight the row and press the Delete key. Deleting multiple records If a group of records needs to be deleted, the process is similar to deleting a single record. The only difference is in selecting the records. Move the pointer left to the ID column for the Excel 2010 course.

83 Access 2016 Foundation Page 83 Drag down the list to the Access 2016 Basics course and all the rows, i.e. records, will be selected. Press the Del key and you will see a warning dialog box. Click on the Yes button to delete the selected records. Your data will now look like this.

84 Access 2016 Foundation Page 84 TIP: Records can also be highlighted by clicking on the first record, moving to the last, then whilst holding down the Shift key, select the last record to highlight all records between and including the first and last records. Using Save As to back up the database using a different file name Click on the File tab. Select the Save As option. You will see the following displayed.

85 Access 2016 Foundation Page 85 Click on the Save As button. You may see a dialog box asking you to close all open objects. If you see this dialog box click on the Yes button. You may then see the following dialog box displayed. Click on the Yes button. The Save As dialog box will be displayed.

86 Access 2016 Foundation Page 86 Enter a new name for the database, such as Backup Tables and Records. Click on the Save button to save the database under the new name. Deleting a table Open a database called Deleting a Table. This database contains three tables. Select the table that you wish to delete, such as New Courses.

87 Access 2016 Foundation Page 87 Press the Del key and you will see a warning dialog box. Click on the Yes button and the table will be deleted. TIP: To delete a table from a database, the table must be closed. Close the Access program.

88 Access 2016 Foundation Page 88 Access 2016 Primary Keys & Indexing Defining a Primary Key A primary key is used as a unique identifier for each record in a database table and is essential when working with relational tables. To be effective, a primary key cannot have duplicate entries and must be set on a field generating a unique identifier. When creating a new table Access automatically adds the ID field with an AutoNumber data type. By default the ID field is also the primary key. Other fields suitable to be set as a primary key are for example passport, social security and driving licence numbers, military identification, tax, workplace or personal identification numbers, unique to each individual. NOTE: A primary key field can never be empty. Access also uses primary keys to index tables. Start the Access program. Open a database called Keys and indexing. Open the Parts table.

89 Access 2016 Foundation Page 89 Switch to the Design View, by clicking on the Design View button (bottom-right). The Primary Key symbol identifies the Part Number field as being the primary key. NOTE: The Primary Key button is also shown in the Tools group on the Ribbon. To use another field as the primary key, select the Part Name field.

90 Access 2016 Foundation Page 90 If necessary, click on the Design tab. Click on the Primary Key button on the Ribbon. The Primary Key symbol is now displayed beside the Part Name field.

91 Access 2016 Foundation Page 91 NOTE: The Part Name field however is not a suitable data type to become a primary key, as data within this field is unlikely to be unique. When working with related tables, the Primary Key field in one table is generally the (foreign key) field used to create the relationship with another table. NOTE: Depending upon the data type a field is set to, more than one field can be highlighted and set as a primary key, although only one displays the Primary Key symbol. MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS: Reset the Primary Key back to the Part Number, field before continuing, as illustrated below. Indexing - Reference Notes Access uses indexes much like the Table of Contents at the beginning of this course, to help locate and sort information quickly. An index stores the location of records based on the field or fields that you choose to index. After Access obtains the location from the index, it can then retrieve the data by moving

92 Access 2016 Foundation Page 92 directly to the correct location. As mentioned earlier, by default, Access sets the Primary key as the Index within a table; however indexing can be set on other fields, especially fields used frequently in searches. NOTE: Although indexing may speed up searches, it can also slow the process of updating data within tables. Also, you cannot index OLE objects or attachment fields. As a guide, consider indexing a field if all of the following conditions are met: - The field's data type is Text, Memo, Number, Date/Time, AutoNumber, Currency, Yes/No or Hyperlink. - You anticipate searching for values stored in the field. - You anticipate sorting values in the field. - You anticipate storing many different values in the field. If many of the values in the field are the same, the index might not significantly speed up queries. Indexing can also be set for multiple fields. If you are likely to perform searches on two or more fields within a single query, it makes sense to create a multiplefield index on both fields. NOTE: You can include up to 10 and set the order of fields in a multiple-field index. When you sort a table using a multiple-field index, Access first sorts by the first field defined for the index. If there are records with duplicate values in the first field, Access then sorts using the second field defined for the multiple-field index. Before creating an index, decide whether you want to create a single-field index or a multiple-field index. You create an index on a single field by setting the Indexed property. The following table lists the possible settings for the Indexed property.

93 Access 2016 Foundation Page 93 NOTE: By setting the Index property to No Duplicates, Access prevents any new value which matches an existing value from being entered into the field. For example, indexing the ID field in a table and setting it to Yes (No Duplicates) prevents duplicate numbers being entered and therefore the values in the field remain unique. Creating a single-field Index For the purpose of this exercise, we will assume that the Part Name field in the Parts table will be subject to many searches; therefore it would be worthwhile indexing this field to speed up searches. Click on the Part Name field. Move down to the General tab within the Field Properties section (towards the bottom of your screen). If you look at the Indexed properties, you will see that it is set to No. Double click on the word No and it will toggle to the word Yes. The Field Properties section will now look like this.

94 Access 2016 Foundation Page 94 Press Ctrl-S to save your changes. Close the Access program. Creating a multiple-field Index Start the Access program. Open a database called Multiple Field Indexing. Open the Parts table. Within the Home tab click on the View button. Click on Design View. Your screen will look like this.

95 Access 2016 Foundation Page 95 On the Design tab, within the Show/Hide group, click on the Indexes button. The Indexes window is displayed. NOTE: By default, Access automatically configures indexes on certain fields as they are added to a table, for example ID fields. In such cases, these indexes will display in the Indexes dialog box when opened.

96 Access 2016 Foundation Page 96 A name for the index is required in the first blank row in the Index Name column. This name is used only to identify the index and can be the name of a field(s) to be indexed or another name. In the Index Name column, type New Index and press the Enter key to move to the Field Name column, as illustrated. Click on the drop arrow and select Part Name and press the Enter key to move to the Sort Order column. Leave the sort order set to Ascending (default) and press the Enter key to move to the next row down.

97 Access 2016 Foundation Page 97 Click within the next empty field within the Field Name column, as illustrated. Click in the down arrow and select Price. Press the Enter key to move to the Sort Order column. Close the dialog box.

98 Access 2016 Foundation Page 98 Deleting multi-field indexes On the Design tab, in the Show/Hide group, click on the Indexes button. Click in the left most column to highlight the row as shown below. Press the Delete key on the keyboard. NOTE: To delete multiple rows in one go, click and drag in the left most column to select the required rows before pressing the Delete key. Close the dialog box. Close Access and save any changes that you have made.

99 Access 2016 Foundation Page 99 Filtering within Access 2016 Text Filters Text Filters provide a means to find one or more specific records in table, form or print specific records in a report, table, or query. By using criteria in a filter, you effectively display only those records matching the criteria. Records not matching the criteria disappear from view, hence the term filter. For example if you only want to display records that fall between the first day of a month and the last day of a month, you can apply a filter, specifying the oldest date and the newest and only records matching the criteria remain visible in the table Filters remain in place until they are removed or until the object is closed. More than one filter may be active at one time, although only one filter per field is possible. Setting a new filter on a field will effectively remove the previous filter for that field before applying the new filter. Applying a single filter A single filter is one that is applied to a single field, using the quick filter options made available in Access Open the Access program. Open a database called Filtering Records. You will see the following. Double click to open the Orders table.

100 Access 2016 Foundation Page 100 To apply a single filter click at the top of the Position column to select the whole column. Click on the Home tab, within the Sort & Filter group click on the Filter button. The Filter drop down is displayed.

101 Access 2016 Foundation Page 101. This drop down menu is divided by horizontal lines into three sections, however only the second and third areas of the dialog box apply to filtering. For now, ignore the A-Z sort section as this will be covered elsewhere. In the lower section of the dialog, you will notice a group of tick boxes. These tick boxes represent all the available (unique) job titles entered into the Positions field. At the top of the tick box group is a tick box labelled (Select All). Click on the (Select All) tick box to un-tick all boxes.

102 Access 2016 Foundation Page 102 To locate all records for those who are an Owner, click on the Owner tick box. Click on the OK button. Six records are displayed with Owner in the Positions field. A button is displayed to the right of the field name of any field which has a filter applied.

103 Access 2016 Foundation Page 103 If necessary, click on the Home tab and within the Sort & Filter group, the Toggle Filter button is now active. Toggle Filter effectively turns the filter on and off, switching between the filtered view and normal view (unfiltered). The Filtered button (at the bottom of the window) which was previously greyed out is now active in the record navigation bar at the bottom of the table. The Filtered button works in exactly the same way as a Toggle Filter button in the Sort & Filter group in the ribbon. Click on the Filtered button once. The table is temporarily unfiltered and all records are visible. Click on the Unfiltered button to revert back to the filtered view.

104 Access 2016 Foundation Page 104 Clearing a single filter To clear a filter that you applied click at the top of the Position column to select the column. Click on the Home tab and within the Sort & Filter group, click on the Filter button. The Filter dialog box is displayed. NOTE: Only when a filter is in use, will the Clear filter from Position option be available in the list, otherwise the option will be greyed out. Select the Clear filter from Position option from the list to remove the filter. All the records will now be displayed again.

105 Access 2016 Foundation Page 105 Creating multiple filters Using a filter on one field helps reduce the list of records to those that meet the criteria set, however there may be occasions when you want to be even more specific about the records you wish to display. This can be accomplished by setting different filters across multiple fields. NOTE: Only one filter can be specified per field, however multiple criteria can be included in one filter. To set filters on multiple fields, you simply follow the steps used for creating a simple filter and repeat the process across additional fields. The only subtle difference is in the process of clearing multiple field filters, covered later in this section. With the Orders table open, click on the double left pointing arrow button, top right of the Navigation Pane to minimize the pane. NOTE: Minimizing the navigation pane provides more viewing space when working with database object.

106 Access 2016 Foundation Page 106 Click at the top of the Position field name to highlight the column. Click on the down arrow button to the right of the Position field name. In the dialog box click on the Text Filters command and from the submenu displayed, click on Begins With.

107 Access 2016 Foundation Page 107 NOTE: Text Filters are custom filters that allow you to specify criteria without having to use operators such as <, >, =, etc The Custom Filter dialog box is displayed. Click into the box and type in Purchasing. Click on the OK button. Only records matching the criteria, beginning with the word Purchasing in the Position field remain displayed.

108 Access 2016 Foundation Page 108 Click at the top of the Quantity field column. NOTE: If you do not see this field, you may have the scroll to the right. Click on the down arrow button to the right of the Quantity field name.

109 Access 2016 Foundation Page 109 When the Filter dialog box is displayed, click on the Number Filters command and from the sub menu displayed, click on Greater Than. The Custom Filter dialog box is displayed. NOTE: Although the title in the Number filter list was Greater Than the dialog box states Quantity is greater than or equal to therefore when you enter in a value of 40 for example, the filter will display records with values of 40 and above. Click into the box and type in 40. Click on the OK button. Only records matching a Position beginning with the word Purchase and a Quantity greater than or equal to 40 remain displayed.

110 Access 2016 Foundation Page 110 Position the pointer at the top of the Order Date field. NOTE: You may have to scroll to the right to view this field. Click on the down arrow button to the right of the Order Date field name. When the filter dialog box is displayed, select the Date Filters command and from the submenu displayed, click on Between.

111 Access 2016 Foundation Page 111 The Between Dates dialog box is displayed. Into the Oldest section, type in Into the Newest section type in Click on the OK button. Now the number of records matching the three filters is reduced even further.

112 Access 2016 Foundation Page 112 Clearing multiple filters Although it is possible to clear each filter, one at a time by following the steps used to clear a single filter; it is also possible to clear all filters at once. Click on the Home tab and within the Sort & Filter group, click on the Advanced button. From the list displayed, select Clear All Filters option. The filters will be removed and all records will once again be displayed. Click on the button, as illustrated below to re-expand the side pane. Close Access and save any changes you have made.

113 Access 2016 Foundation Page 113 Sorting within Access 2016 Sorting Records A-Z Start the Access program. Open a database called Sorting Records. Sorting arranges the data within a table into alphabetical or numerical order, making it more effective and easier to use. Data is easier to find when we know it is sorted in some order, for example, even a simple computerised address book is sorted alphabetically from A Z and calendars are sorted by date order. NOTE: A table, query, form, or report can be sorted on one or more fields, with the exception of attachments or OLE data type fields. Double click on the Orders table to open the table. To sort a single field, such as the Product Name field, click on the down arrow on the field name header.

114 Access 2016 Foundation Page 114 From the drop down list displayed, select Sort A to Z. The data will be sorted by Product Name, as illustrated.

115 Access 2016 Foundation Page 115 Sorting records Z-A To sort in reverse order, repeat the process and select Sort Z to A. Removing a sort To remove a sort, click on the Remove Sort button within the Sort & Filter group. The table returns to the default sort order. Sorting on multiple fields In the table below, the Sales Account Manager and the Category fields are side by side, with the Sales Account Manager field to the left of the Category field. This positioning is relevant when using a sort on multiple fields in a table, as the left most field in the select group of fields, takes priority over the fields to the right. A sort is needed to organize the Sales Account Managers into alphabetical order first, then sort the Category field so that categories within that field are alphabetical according to each Sales Account Manager, as seen in the image below.

116 Access 2016 Foundation Page 116 Place the pointer over the Sales Account Manager field name (at the top of the column) without clicking. When the pointer changes to the down arrow shape, click and drag (right) across to the Category field in one movement, to highlight both fields. Release the mouse button to complete this task. The two columns will be highlighted, as illustrated. Within the Home tab, in the Sort & Filter group, click on the Ascending button.

117 Access 2016 Foundation Page 117 Click anywhere in the table to clear the highlighting from the two fields. The fields are sorted in the order you expected. To demonstrate how the position of fields can impact the results of a sort, first remove the sort. To remove a sort, click on the Remove Sort button in the Sort & Filter group. Move the pointer to the Category field name (at the top of the column) and when the pointer changes to the down arrow shape click to highlight the column. Release the mouse button to complete this task.

118 Access 2016 Foundation Page 118 With the Category field highlighted, click on the Category field name again and drag the field to the left of the Sales Account Manager field. TIP: Remember the thick black line indicates the current position of the field as you drag it across the table. When the Category field is in position, release the mouse button to complete the move. Place the pointer over the Category field name without clicking. When the pointer changes to the down arrow shape click and drag right across to the Sales Account Manager field in one movement, to highlight both fields. Release the mouse button to complete this task.

119 Access 2016 Foundation Page 119 In the Sort & Filter group click on the Ascending button. Click anywhere in the table to clear the highlight from the two fields. This time the Category field is sorted alphabetically first and the Sales Account Managers second. NOTE: When sorting text fields that contain null or zero-length strings, the null values are listed first (ascending order A-Z) and last (descending order Z-A).

120 Access 2016 Foundation Page 120 Save your changes and close the Access program.

121 Access 2016 Foundation Page 121 Searching within Access 2016 Searching through records Start the Access program. Open a database called Searching Records. Open the Orders table, so that your data looks like this. Press Ctrl+F to display the Find and Replace dialog box.

122 Access 2016 Foundation Page 122 You can use this dialog box to find a specific word. To do this, enter a word into the Find What section of the dialog box. In this example, enter Rodman You can also set where you wish to search. Click on the down arrow next to the Look In section of the dialog box, and from the drop down list displayed, select Current Document. Click on the Find Next button. You will see the first instance of the word highlighted, as illustrated below. NOTE: Re-clicking on the Find Next button will find more instances of the word within the table. In this case the word only occurs once. You can also search for a number. Try searching the number 40. You should find multiple instances of this number within the table. Make sure that the Look In section of the dialog box is set to look at the Current Document (i.e. Orders), not just the active column. You can also search for a phrase rather than a single word. Try searching for Autier Miconi. Make sure that the Look In section of the dialog box is set to look at the Current Document (i.e. Orders), not just the active column. You can also search for a date within a table. Try searching for one of the Order Dates contained within your table.. Save your changes and close the Access program.

123 Access 2016 Foundation Page 123 Access 2016 Relationships Table relationships Good database design suggests data is organised across multiple tables, as to store data in one single table would; 1) Result in vast amounts of duplicated data and 2) Quickly become unmanageable. Relationships are used to create a link between two or more tables within a database. When a link is established and with the use of other objects within the database, data can be entered into or viewed from one or more tables at the same time, without the need to close one table and open another. The most common relationships between tables are: One-Many Many-Many One-One A relationship is built by matching a unique field within one table with a field within another table. One-to-many relationship Consider a Parts sales database that includes a Customers table and an Orders table. A customer can place any number of orders. It follows that for any customer represented in the Customers table, there can be many orders represented in the Orders table. The relationship between the Customers table and the Orders table is therefore a one-to-many relationship. To establish a one-to-many relationship between tables, it is necessary to take the Primary Key (normally the ID field) of the one side of the relationship, (in this case the Customer table) and add it as an additional field within the many side (Orders) table. TIP: This requires you to add a new (Customers ID) field to the Orders table and set the data type. As the AutoNumber field can only be used once in a table, the Number data type is used. Notice the Customer ID field is included in the Orders table, shown in the following image.

124 Access 2016 Foundation Page 124 NOTE: When using the name of a primary key field to create a field in another table and thereby a link, the new field is often referred to as a Foreign key. Many-to-many relationship Consider the relationship between a Parts (Product) table and an Orders table. A single order might include more than one product. On the other hand, a single product can appear on many orders. For each record in the Orders table therefore, there can be many records in the Products table. In addition, for each record in the Parts table, there can be many records in the Orders table. This type of relationship is called a many-to-many relationship because, for any product, there can be many orders and, for any order, there can be many products. A many-to-many relationship, is actually achieved by creating two one-to-many relationships, using a third table, often referred to as a Junction. The Primary key from both the Parts and Orders tables are added to the third table (junction) thereby effectively creating two one-to-many relationships. NOTE: In many circles, a many-to-many relationship between your tables is not considered ideal and consideration should be given to the design, possibly breaking data across additional tables to avoid the necessity for many-to-many relationships. One-to-one relationships In a one-to-one relationship, each record in the first table can have only one matching record in the second table, and each record in the second table can have only one matching record in the first table. This type of relationship is not common because, most often, the information related in this way is stored in the same table. One example of a one-to-one relationship might be to transfer sensitive data to another table and isolate it for security reasons. NOTE: Both tables must share a common field but not necessarily a Primary key field.

125 Access 2016 Foundation Page 125 Creating relationships between tables Before a relationship can be created, a database must contain two or more tables upon which a relationship can be formed. Start Access and open a database called Relationships from your Access 2016 Foundation folder. You will notice the Orders and Parts tables in the navigation pane. Double click on the Orders table to open it. Take a moment to look at the fields in the table. As you might expect, you will find the Orders No field (primary key) and several others, including a Part Number field from the Parts table (foreign primary key). To create a relationship between tables, the tables must be closed. Click on the Close button to close the Orders table (and if open, the Parts table too).

126 Access 2016 Foundation Page 126 You should now see this. Click on the Database Tools tab and from within the Relationships group, click on the Relationships button. You will see the following displayed on your screen. Using the mouse pointer, select the Part Number field from the Parts table. Drag across to the corresponding Part Number field in the Orders table. The Edit Relationships options box is displayed.

127 Access 2016 Foundation Page 127 Click on the Create button to establish the relationship and close the Edit Relationships options box. There is now a link shown graphically as a line between the two tables. About Referential integrity Good database design suggests dividing information into many subject-based tables to minimise data redundancy. Relationships are then used to bring the data back together by placing common fields into related tables. To bring data back together, Access uses the value in the "many" table to look up the corresponding value in the "one" table. Suppose you have a one-to-many relationship between Parts and Orders and you want to delete a Part (Item). If the Part you want to delete has orders in the Orders table, those orders will become "orphans" when you delete the Parts record.

128 Access 2016 Foundation Page 128 The orders will still contain a Part ID, but the record (Parent) that it references no longer exists. Referential integrity is designed to prevent this situation occurring and keep references in sync so that this kind of situation never occurs. Referential integrity by default is not enabled and therefore has to be enabled either during the creation of relationships or when editing relationships. When enabled, Access will reject any operation that violates referential integrity for that particular relationship. Access rejects updates that change the target of a reference or deletions that remove the target of a reference. In other words, if you attempt to delete an individual part from the Parts table that has been referenced in the Orders table (included in an order), Access will prevent this from happening. Enabling Referential Integrity Double click on the line between the two tables to open the Edit Relationships options box again. NOTE: If you miss the line when clicking, you will open a blank Edit Relationships options box. Close the box and try again. Click and check the Enforce Referential Integrity check box. Also notice how the cascade options are now available for selection.

129 Access 2016 Foundation Page 129 Warning: The appropriate cascade option should only be checked during maintenance periods when legitimate changes need to be made to the database. The Relationship Type: section shows this will be a One-To-Many relationship. Click on the OK button to establish the relationship. In a One-To-Many relationship, with Enforce Referential Integrity enabled, the line changes to display the digit 1 at one end and the infinite symbol at the other. This graphically displays which table is the One and which is the Many in a One- To-Many relationship. Cascade options There may be occasions when legitimate changes are necessary and for that reason, there are two options available in Access which when enabled, allow updates to fields and deletion of records (row) whilst maintaining data integrity.

130 Access 2016 Foundation Page 130 Cascade update related fields When updating fields in related tables, with this option enabled, Access automatically updates all affected records as part of a single operation and ensures that the updates are completed, without inconsistencies. Cascade delete related records Equally, you may also have a valid reason for deleting a record in one table and related records in the related table, for example, a record from the Parts table and all related orders for that Part in the Orders table. Again, when enabled, Access will automatically delete all related references, maintaining data integrity. NOTE: Both cascade options are designed for maintenance purposes and should therefore only be enabled during system maintenance. Enabling cascade options To enable Referential Integrity, double click on the line between the two tables to open the Edit Relationships options box again. Click and check the required Cascade option tick box. Click on the OK button to update the changes.

131 Access 2016 Foundation Page 131 Deleting relationships Once relationships have been established, Access behaves very differently and you may find yourself unable to edit tables as you have done in the past, even when referential integrity is disabled. This is because having established a relationship, attempting to delete fields in a related table or editing / changing certain field properties, etc., can have a knock on effect to other related tables, therefore Access prevents the action. NOTE: It is advisable to design your database well. Make sure your table design and layout works, create and test your tables before you consider establishing relationships. Changes to the design, improvements and modification over time may also require removal or changes to relationships between tables. To delete a relationship, first click once on the line between the two tables. The line appears thicker. Right click to activate the shortcut menu and select Delete. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion. Click on the Yes button to confirm. The relationship line between the two tables is removed and the tables are no longer related.

132 Access 2016 Foundation Page 132 Close Access and save any changes that you have made.

133 Access 2016 Foundation Page 133 Access 2016 Forms Forms overview Up to this point, you have entered data directly into a table. Rather than having information overload from viewing a screen full of records in a table, forms provide an aesthetically pleasing window to enter and display record information. Forms can be used to display and maintain records within your database. Forms can be designed to display fields from multiple tables and can also be used to restrict what information users have access to. In addition, buttons can also be added to provide automated functionality. Microsoft Access 2016 gives you tools to help you create forms quickly, and provides new form types and features that improve the usability of your database. Creating forms Start the Access program. Open a database called Forms. In the Navigation Pane, click to select the Parts table. NOTE: It is VERY important that you have selected the Parts table, NOT one of the other tables, as we are going to produce a form based on the Parts table. NOTE: There is no need to open a table or query, however if it is open, make certain it is the active object in the object window, otherwise Access may base the form on another open object.

134 Access 2016 Foundation Page 134 Click on the Create tab and from within the Forms group, click on the Form button. You will see the following, which displays all the fields within the Parts table. Modifying forms Make sure the newly created form is still in Layout View. If necessary, click on the Layout View button at the bottom-right of the screen.. Click on the Design tab and within the Themes group, click on the Themes button.

135 Access 2016 Foundation Page 135 You will see a drop down list of available styles. Select the Office theme. The form changes to match the setting of the theme chosen.

136 Access 2016 Foundation Page 136 NOTE: You can select different styles until you find one suitable. The final color is not set until the form is saved and can be modified again at a later time. Click on the Price field, i.e. select the number 1.80, not the text label. Your screen will look like this. NOTE: Text labels (such as the word Price) are used to indicate the purpose of the data fields in a Form. Labels are simply text in text boxes and can be modified, for example the Attached Docs label could be edited to show

137 Access 2016 Foundation Page 137 Attachments instead. The Price field in the Parts table is formatted as Fixed, not Number and therefore there is no currency symbol. Click on the Format tab, and within the Number group, click on the Apply Currency Format button. All entries in the Price field within the form will now show a currency symbol preceding the value. The underlying table however remains unchanged. NOTE: The actual currency symbol depends upon the Region and Language settings in the Windows Control Panel. Click on the Supp ID field, (i.e. click on the box containing the number 2) as illustrated below.

138 Access 2016 Foundation Page 138 The Supp ID field is a foreign key field from another table and used to establish a relationship between the Supplier and the Parts tables. There is no reason for users to see this field in the table therefore it can be removed from the form. With the field box highlighted press the Del key to remove the field. Your screen will now look like this. NOTE: Deleting fields in a form has no impact on the table, which remains unchanged. The Part Name and Description fields each occupy double line spacing and these need to be adjusted. The double spacing is illustrated below.

139 Access 2016 Foundation Page 139 Select the Part Name field first (i.e. click to select the box containing the word Light), move the pointer to the bottom line of the box, until the pointer changes to a double arrow. Click and drag the line up to reduce the box height, similar to that of the Category, Price, In Stock. Repeat the same steps, this time selecting the Part Description field.

140 Access 2016 Foundation Page 140 Select the Part Number field. We can easily move fields within a form. To try this, place the pointer in the middle of the highlighted field (i.e. the Part Number field), until the pointer changes to a (crosshair) pointer. Click and drag the Part Number field down the form and position below the Attached Docs field. Click on the Undo button to undo the move and return the Part Number field back to its original position.

141 Access 2016 Foundation Page 141 Modifying a form title When created, Access added a text label to the top of the form using the name of the table (Parts) the form was based on. Click on the Parts label. A box outline appears around Parts as illustrated below. Double click on the Parts label again to select and highlight it. Type in ABC Parts Inventory and press the Enter key.

142 Access 2016 Foundation Page 142 Changing a form logo Next, click once on the logo to select it. An outline box appears around the logo. Click on the Design tab and from within the Header / Footer group click on the Logo button. The Insert Picture dialog box is displayed.

143 Access 2016 Foundation Page 143 Double click on the Images folder and you will see a selection of pictures. Select an image file called Motor Parts.

144 Access 2016 Foundation Page 144 Click on the OK button and the logo will be displayed as illustrated below. Modifying a form label Click on the Attached Docs label to select the label. NOTE: Make sure that you click on the label NOT the field which is next to the label. Look closely at the illustration below. Click once again within the label box outline.

145 Access 2016 Foundation Page 145 The outline changes to show a thin outline box which indicates you are now in text edit mode. Place the mouse pointer at one end of the label, then in one motion, click and drag to highlight both words. Type in the word Documentation, then press the Enter key to confirm the change.

146 Access 2016 Foundation Page 146 Saving a form Press Ctrl-S or click on the Save icon to save the form. The Save As dialog box is displayed. Click on the OK button to save the form. The new form appears below tables in the Navigation Pane.

147 Access 2016 Foundation Page 147 Form View Click on the Form View button (bottom-right of the screen) to switch to Form View. Unlike the Layout View, Form View does not allow the form to be modified, however a user will be able to enter and edit data, navigate and create new records in the underlying table. Initially, there is little to differentiate between Layout View and Form View. The first noticeable difference will be the ribbon, as the Form Layout contextual tab is no longer available. Clicking into the field text boxes also no longer activates the border around the data input area; instead double clicking will highlight the data. Adding and formatting attachments Use the record navigation bar (at the bottom of your screen) to move from one record to the next and see how the data within the form changes with each record. Use the record navigation bar to locate and display record 6.

148 Access 2016 Foundation Page 148 NOTE: Although this is record number 6, the Part Number is 21. Record navigation relates to the number of record in the table, not to the unique numbers assigned to each record. Click once in the Documentation field box. An outline box appears around the Attachments box and a control options toolbar appears just above the attachments box.

149 Access 2016 Foundation Page 149 Click on the paperclip button. The Attachments dialog box is displayed. Click on the Add button and locate an image file named Oil Filter, which is located in the Images folder under your sample files folder.

150 Access 2016 Foundation Page 150 Double click on the Oil Filter image file to add it as an attachment. Click on the OK button to close the Attachments dialog box and return to the form.

151 Access 2016 Foundation Page 151 An image of the oil filter is now displayed in the Documentation field, however the image is small and difficult to determine. Click on the Layout View button (bottom-right) to switch to Layout View. Move the mouse pointer to the bottom edge of the Documentation field box and position until the pointer changes to a double headed arrow. Using the mouse pointer, click and drag the bottom of the field box downwards so that the screen resembles the illustration below, then release the mouse button.

152 Access 2016 Foundation Page 152 Click on the Form View button (bottom-right) to switch back to Form View. Double click within the Documentation field. The Attachments dialog box will be displayed. Click on the Add button and select a Word document file named Product Specs Oil Filter, located in the Access 2016 Foundation folder.

153 Access 2016 Foundation Page 153 NOTE: You will have to move up a folder level, as you are currently viewing the Images folder, which is located under the Access 2016 Foundation folder. Double click on the file to add it as an attachment. Click on the OK button to close the Attachments dialog box and return to the form. The image of the oil filter is still displayed in the Documentation field. NOTE: When file attachments are added to a field, the first image file added will be the image displayed by default for the record. If documents are attached to a field without an image, a button, representing the application used to create or open the document, i.e. Microsoft Word will be displayed.

154 Access 2016 Foundation Page 154 When two or more attachments have been added to a field, the arrow controls provide a means of viewing them. Click once in the Documentation field to activate the control options toolbar. Click on the right arrow button within the mini toolbar. TIP: The attachment navigation arrows are most useful when viewing multiple

155 Access 2016 Foundation Page 155 image attachments. When active, click on the left arrow button to navigate backwards through the list of available files. NOTE: If you had wanted to open and view the attached document, you could have double clicked to view the document. Modifying data within records Using the record navigation bar locate record 7. The following data will be displayed.

156 Access 2016 Foundation Page 156 Let us assume after checking your stock, it emerges that in fact there are only 34 of these lights in stock, not 39, therefore the record needs to be edited and updated with this new information. Double click on the In Stock field to highlight the value.

157 Access 2016 Foundation Page 157 Type 34 and press the Enter key. NOTE: The value has been updated and committed to the Parts table. Deleting records using a form Using the record navigation bar locate record 9, which is to be removed from the table. The data will look like this.

158 Access 2016 Foundation Page 158 At the top-left of each record in a form there is a bar with a single right pointing arrow at the top of the bar. When clicked, the bar changes to show the whole record is selected. By doing this, you can delete an entire record in one go. Click anywhere on the bar to select the record. The bar changes to look like this.

159 Access 2016 Foundation Page 159 Press the Del. Access displays a warning requesting confirmation of deletion. NOTE: The record which is about to be deleted has disappeared and the Record Navigation bar displays one less record.

160 Access 2016 Foundation Page 160 Click on the Yes button to confirm deletion. Adding records using a form Click on the New Record button on the record navigation bar (displayed at the bottom-left of your screen). A new blank record will be displayed. Enter the following information to complete the new record, pressing the Tab or the Enter key to move from one field to the next. NOTE: Leave the last two items blank. Part Name Alternator Part Description 12v 60amp Alternator Category Electrical - Power Price In Stock 3 Received 28/06/2014 Discontinued Documentation

161 Access 2016 Foundation Page 161 Your screen will now look like this. Press Enter once more to move to the next new record and save the record you just completed. Adding or deleting text in a record using a form You can delete any existing data within a record. For instance delete the 12v 60amp text. Click on the Undo button to restore the deleted text. You can easily add to existing text. Change the Part Name text from Alternator to Power Alternator. Click on the Undo button to remove the additional text. Closing forms To close a form, click on the Close button at the top right of the form window. You will see a dialog box asking if you want to save your changes. Click on the Yes button.

162 Access 2016 Foundation Page 162 Opening forms To open a form, locate and double click on the form name in the Navigation Pane. Deleting a form If you opened the form, close it now. Deleting a form is similar to deleting a table or any other object in the database. Before an object in this case a form can be deleted, the object must be closed. Locate the form in the Navigation Pane.

163 Access 2016 Foundation Page 163 Click once to highlight the Parts form name and then press the Del key. Access displays a warning dialog box, requesting confirmation of deletion. Click on the Yes button to confirm deletion. You will no longer see the form, as illustrated below.

164 Access 2016 Foundation Page 164 Close the Access program. Filtering a form Start the Access program. Open a database called Filtering Forms. Open the Customer Orders form (by double clicking on it). Your screen will look like this.

165 Access 2016 Foundation Page 165 If you click on the Next Record arrow button (towards the bottom-left) a few times you will see that there are a number of records relating to the Beverages category. Display a record where the Category, displays the word Beverages. Click within the Category section of the form (i.e. click over the word Beverages).
